There's No Place That Love Can't Reach

from the cold steel bars of a prison cell
where a young man waits in his private hell
to the widow's house on the edge of town
with the deadbolt locked and the shades pulled down
to the underpass where the runaway sleeps
there are places where love is scarce, but

there's no place that love can't raech
no road too far and no heart that hard.
walls stand tall and hurt runs deep
but there's no place that love can't reach

there was a time when i was one
i tried to hide
i tried to run
now i know it's true, i'm living proof

on a shelter wall there's a tattered note
it says we love you son, please call home
there's a little girl on the widow's porch
leaving fresh baked bread at her front door
and a pris'ner prays from down on his knees
even those who doubt can't block it out, but
